→Background
Pathetic was replaced by Vic "Vik" Martinez in September of 2008, who added some unorthodox guitar work and provided a much needed third layer to the band's overall sound. In addition to contributing bass guitar lines to their song ''"Caustic"'', Martinez also incorporated elements of bass synth and live sample triggering to the band's live performances. However a falling out with Mod and scheduling conflicts forced Martinez's departure in December 2009. As a result, former gadgetrist Mat Pathetic stepped in to replace Martinez for the band's then upcoming ''"Dogma Eye"'' tour. Following their appearance at the Orlando based 'Florida Underground Industrial Music Festival', Mat Pathetic once again became the band's permanent Guitarist and Gadgetrist. In mid 2010, legal problems briefly forced his departure for a few months. Later that year they were joined by their second keyboardist and arranger Thomas Carpenter.
In late 2010, the band was rumored to have broken up, however Mod Eschar confirmed that the band was indeed on temporary hiatus due to personal difficulties. The two band-mates have announced their intent group has since returned to resume the project in early 2011 after resolving difficulties in studio to begin work on their personal lives. In October 2010, Mod Eschar announced that [[Vimana Cult]] band-mate [[Jason Beatty]] will take the place of Mat Pathetic in the group's future live performancesfirst official release.
The group has gained a modest following in the Pensacola music scene, however this is often overshadowed by acts of other genres. The group makes infrequent appearances due to the enormous amount of planning and scale required for their performances. They have played local venues such as [[Sluggo's]], [[End of the Line Cafe]], and [[The Handlebar]]. The band has played shows with local acts such as [[User Assumes Risk]] and [[Vomit Gun]]. The band recently performed at the ''Florida Underground Industrial Music Festival'' in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando Orlando Florida] with notable acts in the genre such as The Ludovico Technique, Cyanide Regime, and Spider Lilies. The band has also performed with En Esch, Mona Mur, and Slick Idiot.
